WARNING for parents of little boys!!!

With my experience of being a mother of two little boys, I have found that they both love to stick things in their pockets; rocks, paperclips, anything found interesting that they think mom won't let them take home that they find on the ground.
It now has become habit. Well, I didn't check the pockets of a pair of cream colored shorts that were put into the washing machine and then into the dryer. A green crayon ruined an entire load of whites. Everything looked a lot like this shirt. Yeah! Off to the store with two boys in tow. They got new church shirts and I got a few new shirts to wear. Wow! Life with boys is sure never a dull moment.
It has been unusually hot here for this time of year and last week the boys invited a friend to come over to play in the sprinklers

2nd grade graduation

Last night Braxton had a graduation ceremony for all the kids moving on to the 3rd grade because here they are going to a new school. Braxton was so proud to be graduating and got so many awards. He is a member of the Book Club (someone who reads at least 50 books during the year), Awesome academics, Roaring Reader, Safety Patrol, Reading Achievement, Academic All-Star for entire year. He also got a trophy for being the second grade's top reader this year with reading a total of 957 books(Here they count each chapter read as a book). We really like to read can you tell? Sometimes we have to tell him that he needs to stop reading. Imagine that. He is turning into a walking encyclopedia spouting off instant facts. It cracks us up! Isaiah was so impressed with the ceremony as you can tell in the picture. He made it through most classes, but Braxton's class was up last, so we had a while to wait. We are so proud of our little man. He is a great student and loves learning. Way to go Big Guy! Keep it up!
